  1. 1. The Psalter Reclaimed

    Praying and Praising with the Psalms
    Cover of 'The Psalter Reclaimed' by Gordon J. Wenham

    This collection of accessible essays makes a practical and theological case for placing the Psalms at the center of Christian worship and discipleship, showing how they function as prayers, poetry, and prophecy that shape belief and behavior. It explores the Psalter’s canonical structure, Davidic and messianic themes, the role of lament and praise, and faithful ways to pray imprecatory texts, while also tracing how the Psalms are used by Jesus and the New Testament. The book offers guidance for reading, singing, and preaching the Psalms today so that they form the church’s imagination and ethics.
